How To Get My Boat Out To Egypt?

[Andy]

Hi there
I have a 14 foot speed boat (Dell Quay Dory) and live in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is kept at bangor marina.
We have a Holiday home in hurgahada, egypt and would like to get the boat out to Hurghada Marina. Any suggestions on how to do this?
Sailing it, is obviously not an option!
And if you do have suggestions, any ideas on costs?
Thanks very much & Merry Xmas

i think you should get a trailer and get a crane to pick up the boat and to put it on a trailer of your car and then you can drive your car to a ferry boat and that's it.

Put it on a big ship or a barge. People do this all the time where they charge by the foot.

I think you should consider a container shipment. To improve the economics you can stuff it with other items that are cheap in Ireland and expensive or hard to find in Egypt. Just be sure to check what is legal to ship and not incur import duties. An alternative is to ship it as 'Deck Cargo' where it's just set on the ship; but this manner is more susceptible to damage in handling or weather.

Good Luck.
